Overview

DO NOT DISTURB is a Philadelphia-based sex-positive and social-justice film festival launched in late 2025 as part of an adult arts initiative centered on embodied freedom and mutual support. It is notable for screening short films that connect bodily autonomy, sexuality, and political themes, with programming divided between public-facing social issues and private, sensual, uncensored work; this gives it a distinct niche in the U.S. festival landscape rather than a broad mainstream profile.[1]
